268 Lu Qing refining pills

Yuyan mountain was a large place.

Of course, it was not as large as the Qingfeng sect, but Yuyan mountain was not just a mountain. The area covered by the spirit vein was made up of many mountain peaks. It could be considered the territory of Yuyan mountain, and it was all under the control of the Lu clan. However, the main peak was the main area where the Lu clan mainly lived.

For example, the Holy tower of spiritual peak was built on a side peak that was far away from the main peak.

This time, the spirit-gathering temple was also not built on the main peak, but it was slightly closer to the main peak than the Holy tower of spiritual peak.

When the Holy tower of spiritual peak was built, the commotion was too great. The lightning was like a blade and axe, carving a tower on the peak of a mountain.

However, this spirit gathering holy temple was just pulled up from an open space that was cleared out in advance. At night, during the two hours of the self-construction of the spirit gathering holy temple, many cultivators from different families had noticed the abnormality, but they had been warned in advance and no one went over. Those who didn’t know what was going on were stopped by the cloud cavalry team.

The next morning, everyone saw that there was an additional Hall on the side peak.

Li Yanling and the other high-level cultivators of the family also arrived on the morning of the second day.

When they arrived, they found that the door of the hall was tightly closed.

Lu Qing’s voice rang out in their minds at the same time. “You need to pay to enter this door.”

??

You still want money?

“Ten years of training inside is equivalent to one year outside. An initial enlightenment cultivator would need 1000 spirit stones to enter, while a golden core cultivator would need 5000. But Yan Ling, don’t even think about it for now. It’s useless even if you go in. The spiritual energy in the spirit vein of Yuyan mountain can’t support your cultivation, but chaoxi and the rest of you can.”

The four of them heard their father’s words, and their faces were filled with shock.

He had cultivated for ten years, but only one year had passed outside?

If Lu chaoxi went in and cultivated for a hundred years, he would probably reach the Golden core level, right? In the outside world, it would only take ten years to reach the Golden core stage.

What kind of godly paradise was this?

They were all aware of the magic of this place and the powerful effects it could bring.

only one person can enter this Hall at a time. Let’s do it one by one. Why don’t chaoxi go in first and stay for a year? ”

Even though his biological father was not in front of him and he was only speaking to him through voice transmission, Lu chaoxi was still very polite. “Alright,” he said.

Not long after, a cultivator from the clan rode a water cloud horse and flew over from the distance. After handing over the storage bag with 1000 spirit stones to the clan leader, he looked at the new hall with curiosity and had no intention of leaving.

Lu chaoxi did not say anything and allowed the crowd to watch.

Lu chaoxi found a black opening at the entrance of the Holy Temple. He threw in 1000 spiritual stones.

Then, the gate of the Holy sanctum opened.

It was amazing that nothing could be seen clearly from the outside. It was as if there was a hazy mist that prevented the furnishings and appearance inside from being observed by the outside world.

“I’ll go in and try.” Lu chaoxi said one last thing to his wife, brother, and sister before he stepped in.

After he went in, the people outside saw that his figure gradually became blurry as he went deeper and deeper. Then, he quickly became one with the hazy everything and could no longer be observed clearly.

When he tried to take a closer look, the gate of the Holy Palace closed with a loud bang.

From Lu chaoxi’s own perspective, the things that were originally blurry before his eyes became clearer and clearer when he entered the temple.

Looking around, this was a very ancient and simple place. The octagonal square was very spacious and there were no unnecessary decorations. The stone walls around it looked ordinary.

This was a place for pure cultivation. The spiritual energy here was rich, and it could almost be considered as the best quality of spiritual energy that the Yuyan mountain’s spiritual vein could express. The cultivation effect here would definitely not be bad.

It was just that he felt a little bored. According to his father’s instructions, he would have to obediently enter closed-door cultivation for ten years. He had even prepared two storage bags for the corresponding spirit food. In addition, he had also prepared a lot of medicinal pills and other things needed for cultivation.

Although he couldn’t leave this place for ten years, he needed this long time to cultivate.

As the Lu clan developed faster and faster, the things and situations they faced would become more and more difficult to deal with. In the past, when he was still in the Foundation Stage, he was the strongest person in the clan, the main force of the clan. He had to deal with all the situations that the clan encountered. This situation had reached its peak when he led the cultivators of his family to the North to participate in the war when the White ghouls went south.

He used that time to become an initial enlightenment cultivator. It was also after that battle that the Lu family grew wings and soared.

However, ever since then, the Lu family had taken off and faced greater challenges. He realized that the things he could solve had become fewer. His abilities were much stronger than before. After entering the initial enlightenment stage, he quickly grew to the fourth-level initial enlightenment stage.

Even so, the speed of his personal growth could not match the speed of the Lu clan’s expansion.

In this way, the sense of powerlessness became deeper and deeper.

This time, the Lu family had shone brilliantly on the battlefield in the North barren forest, but it was still thanks to his father. Apart from his father, he also relied on his wife, Li Yanling. As for his own Kasaya, it was just so-so.

He didn’t want this to happen. In fact, he didn’t want his wife to ride on his head for the rest of his life.

In the past, he had no choice. He had double spiritual roots, while Li Yanling had a single spiritual root. Moreover, she had been a golden core disciple since she was young, and her cultivation had never been interrupted by any serious injuries.

However, this time in the northern wilderness forest, he was also informed by his father that he had become a cultivator with a single lightning spiritual root. When he was cultivating, he could clearly feel that he was completely different from before.

Since that was the case, the ambition in his heart also burned further.

I’ll set a small goal first-to surpass my wife’s cultivation!

......

Outside the spirit gathering temple, everyone looked around curiously for a while. When they saw that there was no more movement from the temple, they dispersed.

Following that, according to Lu Qing, the spirit gathering temple would be included in the daily patrol route of the clan’s cultivators. They would also arrange for corresponding guards. Actually, there was not much to guard. They would just stand guard and cultivate while they were at it.

Not only spirit gathering holy temple, but the spiritual peak Holy tower was the same.

To be honest, these two buildings were very precious, useful, and awesome. They were both true, but no one could steal them anyway.

As for destroying it, it would be difficult to break through the protective array of Yuyan mountain and destroy the building of wonder built by the Lu clan.

Whoever had this idea could give it a try.

In addition to the one-on-one accelerated cultivation effect, spirit-gathering temple itself had a most basic passive effect-it could increase the cultivation efficiency of all cultivators within the range of the spirit vein by 30%.

Previously, Lu Qing had not thought about how this function was achieved. Anyway, that was the description of the function in the system interface. He had thought that as long as he was in the spirit vein, his cultivation speed would be faster.

...

However, when the spirit gathering temple was built and the various effects began to take effect, Lu Qing realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.

The existence of spirit-gathering temple did not increase everyone’s cultivation efficiency by three levels. Instead, it increased the quality and concentration of the spiritual Qi in the spiritual heritage. The effect of this was basically to increase the efficiency of cultivation on Yuyan mountain by 30% under the same circumstances.

And it was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing to improve the efficiency of cultivation in this way.

However, for the time being, it had slightly solved the problem of squeezing Yuyan mountain.

And the so-called ‘crowded’, of course, was not geographically crowded. In this world, land wasn’t worth much. It was truly vast and sparsely populated.

However, spiritual Qi was a valuable resource.

The crowding of the spirit vein referred to the ‘crowding’ of the spirit Qi. The quality and quantity of spirit Qi that a spirit vein could provide was limited. The more cultivators who lived in it, the stronger their average strength was, and the amount of spirit Qi that each person could extract would naturally be affected. Once the amount exceeded a certain limit, it would affect the cultivation speed of all cultivators in the spirit vein.

Even though Yuyan mountain had been upgraded to a level-three spirit vein, it was still quite crowded.

Li Yanling was different. She was unable to cultivate properly on Yuyan mountain. She would either enter the secret realm or refine spirit stones to maintain her cultivation.

Other than her, the Lu clan still had three initial enlightenment cultivators, nearly ten foundation building cultivators, and more than 200 Qi refining cultivators. This was still quite a big pressure on the level 3 spirit vein.

It might not be a problem for the clan to have new foundation building cultivators, but with ten more, the pressure on the spirit vein might not be too much. However, if there were two more Qiming’s, Yuyan mountain would indeed not be able to withstand it, which would cause a situation where the spiritual energy would be congested.

...

This was the significance of upgrading the spirit vein. Not only could it accommodate the long-term cultivation of golden core cultivators in the future, but it could also expand the amount of spirit Qi that the spirit vein could release, which would also benefit the lower-level cultivators.

The effect of the [ spirit gathering temple ] magnified this aspect. It would make the spirit Qi more concentrated and of a higher quality. Under normal circumstances, it could directly improve the cultivation effect of the cultivators in the spirit vein. In the future, if there were too many people on Yuyan mountain, the effect would be diluted. However, it would not cause the spirit Qi to be congested, which would lead to a decrease in cultivation speed.

Furthermore, when he thought about it further, when the grade of the spirit vein was higher in the future, the increase in the concentration and quality would bring about even more obvious effects. historical

Coincidentally, the project to upgrade Yuyan mountain to a level-four spiritual heritage had already begun. Lu Qing had already used up the 2000 karma he had accumulated earlier. He had also set up the formation to nurture the spirit Meridian and buried the corresponding spirit stones.

Ten years later, Yuyan mountain would return to its peak level of a level-four spirit vein.

In addition, with the existence of the spirit gathering temple, it would not be a problem to provide for five or even ten golden core cultivators to cultivate at the same time.

It was simply wonderful!

......

The construction of the spirit gathering temple cost Lu Qing 3000 karma. Lu Qing had to pay 2000 karma for the upgrade of the four-star Spirit meridians. He would have to pay 600 karma every year for the next ten years. Lu Qing would have to continuously invest 8000 karma in the upgrade of the spirit meridians.

The fixed cost of six hundred taels of karma every year was rather large.

It would be slightly difficult for him to get an average of 600 karma a year by relying on some of his achievements and the conquest events that he would trigger from time to time.

He planned to hold back. He could spend less of the karma he had on hand. He wanted to keep more as a reserve for the future.

He had to leave at least 6000 behind. Otherwise, if the upgrade of his spiritual heritage was interrupted halfway, he would be in deep trouble.

Currently, Lu Qing had about 24000 karma left. He had spent 5000 karma this time and was left with 19000 karma. Including the 6000 karma that he had set aside, Lu Qing only had about 13000 karma left.

He had a three-star resurrection exchange item with him. This exchange item required 1500 karma and he had to save it for himself.

Therefore, the karma that Lu Qing could use directly was less than 12000.

It was still a huge fortune, but he had not thought of how to use it yet.

In fact, there was no need to spend it in a hurry.

So, he took out 1000 Yuan to improve his Foundation.

Seeing that the exchange tab was not enough, Lu Qing did another round of ten draws. After spending 250 karma points, he did not get any rare items. On the other hand, he got quite a number of ordinary exchange takeaways that he could spend as he wished.

The clan’s new children under the age of six could each enjoy a wave of upgrading of their spiritual roots. Those in the clan who had a slightly brighter future could get different levels of cultivation speed improvement. There was no need to mention the [ healing ] option. During the battle at Eagle Valley, he added all the family traditions that he should have added, such as [ family planning ], [ high morale ], and [ loyal clansmen ].

In addition, Lu Qing also took out quite a number of items such as [ resource exploration ], [ resource upgrade ], [ turtle snake grass seed ], and [ Moonflower spirit grass seed ].

These were basically resources. There were even some items that were the same as the ones he had previously exchanged for. For example, the [ turtle snake grass seed ] was something that the clan already had.

But it didn’t matter, he wouldn’t exchange for those he had. The few that he didn’t have, he would exchange for them and plant them in the family’s herb garden. The more varieties there were, the more income he would receive.

As for the [ resource exploration ], Lu Qing used five of them to explore the North barren forest.

He found two resource points.

In addition to the ones that he had found in the past and had not yet been able to develop, Lu Qing now had control over two small mineral veins, one of which was a group of medicinal herbs that could be transplanted, and the other was a group of beasts.

However, these resources were mostly one-star or two-star and were not considered very valuable.

Lu Qing was too lazy to run around and pay attention to all of these things. He planned to record the locations of all these resource points and let tingchou think of a way to obtain them before developing them further.

How to arrange people to investigate, how to assess the difficulty of the battle, and what kind of team to arrange to attack or seize the resource points would depend on Ting Chou’s own ideas.

As for Lu Qing, he started to busy himself with another matter-refining the foundation building elixir!

Right now, the Lu clan had an abundance of the raw materials to make the foundation building elixir.

After the battle in the North barren forest, the Lu family had obtained a total of five level-three demonic cores.

Apart from the peak third tier monster core, which would seem too extravagant to use to refine the foundation building elixir, the other four could be refined.

Moreover, the efficiency of using a monster core to refine a foundation building elixir was even higher than that of a Golden Lotus. On average, a thousand-year Golden Lotus would form five cores. The demonic cores at the beginning of level three were similar to a thousand-year golden chain. On average, six mid-stage level three demonic cores could be produced. Moreover, if one’s alchemy skills were good, seven would be easy. As for late-stage level-three demonic cores, eight of them could be easily dropped.

Out of the four demon cores that the Lu clan had, three of them were of the middle grade, and one of them was of the upper grade.

All in all, he could get twenty foundation building pills!

Of course, the success rate depended on the alchemist’s skill level in addition to the quality of the ingredients.

A stage three Alchemist could refine the foundation building pill, but under normal circumstances, as long as they had the choice, they would not let a stage three Alchemist do this.

Among the Tier 3 elixirs, the foundation building elixir could be considered one of the most expensive ones. If a Tier 3 Alchemist were to concoct it, it would be too much of a waste of natural resources. If the success rate was too low, it would cause the extremely precious raw materials to be unable to display their best effects. The difference of one less pill was tens of thousands of spirit stones. If he wanted to practice, there were other level three elixir pills that he could use. There was no need to use the foundation building elixir. The value of a foundation building elixir was enough to open several cauldrons of Ordinary Level three elixir pills.

As for alchemists above the fourth rank, they could guarantee a higher success rate.

Previously, Lu Qing had thought that the clan would have to hire a level four Alchemist from the sect or somewhere else to refine the demon cores that they were going to use to refine the foundation building elixir. Even if the remuneration was not low, it was still much better than the family’s own production.

After all, the best Alchemist in the Lu clan was mingchao. Not long ago, Lu Qing had used the alchemist’s star-rising to promote her. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for mingchao to rise to three-star given her personality, which usually focused on her own cultivation and rarely paid attention to alchemy.

In contrast, the young Lu Jingming, who was an Alchemist that the family had nurtured, had already reached level two.

However, Lu Qing had other thoughts after obtaining the ‘Book of Fate’.

There was also an alchemy technique in The Book of Fate. Moreover, since Lu Qing had received the system’s direct infusion, he had a very good understanding of all the contents of the entire cultivation technique. Therefore, logically speaking, he should be a very outstanding Alchemist now. In theory, he should be at the standard of a four-star Alchemist.

Then why don’t I refine it myself? Instead of letting others earn this money, I might as well make my own fortune-telling ball!

However, this item was of great importance. The materials were rare and valuable. Lu Qing did not let his guard down.

After all, before this, he had not come into contact with much knowledge about alchemy. It could not be said that he knew nothing, but he probably only had some understanding and did not have much practical experience.

Therefore, before he started to refine the foundation building pill, he first ordered someone to get him a third tier medicinal furnace. Then, he found some other materials and opened the furnace to refine some first and second tier medicinal pills to get used to the feeling. After that, he found some third and fourth tier medicinal pills to refine.

After more than half a year, Lu Qing realized that his pill refining skills were indeed lacking due to his lack of experience.

However, the alchemy technique in The Book of Fate was unexpectedly powerful! It was much, much better than the popular alchemy methods that were currently circulating in the market!

Even if he did not have enough experience, he could still achieve very good results!

After familiarizing himself with the pill for a period of time, Lu Qing’s alchemy experience had also increased by a large margin. The effects of some of the level four medicinal pills that he refined were already not inferior to some of the veteran level four alchemists!

It was enough for him to reach this level.

Lu Qing did not hesitate any longer. He got someone to send three middle-grade level three demonic cores over and started to refine the pills!

In the first batch, there were six foundation building pills, which was the average standard of a middle-grade level three demonic core.

Just the pill refining time in between had taken him ten days.

This was also the reason why high-level alchemists needed to reach a certain level of cultivation to be able to do it. After all, the processing of some high-grade materials as well as the entire process of alchemy required the cultivator to spend their own strength to complete. Without a certain cultivation base, even the materials couldn’t be refined, let alone the complete refining of the pill.

However, after working hard for ten days, Lu Qing still felt very gratified when he saw the six Golden Foundation building pills in the furnace.

At the very least, it was not a waste. It had reached the average level of a level three middle-grade demonic core.

Furthermore, this was his first time refining a foundation building elixir. After experiencing it once, Lu Qing believed that his performance would definitely be better than the first time he did it again!

After resting for two days, Lu Qing did not waste any time. He worked hard and started to refine the second batch of pills.

This time, his luck was very good. It was a big drop, and he got eight!

A middle-grade Yao core could produce eight foundation building pills. In the hands of some very experienced fourth-grade alchemists, this was a very rare situation.

This could not be explained by luck. Although it was definitely a part of the reason, the alchemy technique in the fate creation book was still very helpful.

However, by the third batch, his luck wasn’t so good. He only produced seven pills, but it was still better than the average.

With just three middle-grade Yao cores, he had gotten 21 foundation building pills. This was a profit of three more than the expected 18 pills!

As he rejoiced, Lu Qing also cultivated his body and mind. He took out the last demonic core, which was the level three high-grade demonic core.

He opened the furnace and started to refine the pills. Ten days later, when Lu Qing used his spiritual power to form the pills, he could clearly feel the ten foundation building pills!

A huge sense of joy filled his heart. With four demon cores, he had obtained a total of thirty-one foundation building pills!

The Lu clan would not have to worry about the cultivation of the younger generation of the clan for a long time!
